In the dark, sometimes you can hear your heartbeat Or the heart of the one next to you The house settles down after holding itself up all day Shoulder slumps, gives a big sigh You hear no one's foot fall in the hall That drip in the kitchen sink marking time June bug on the window screen can't get in, but he keeps on trying One way or another, we're all in the dark ♪ Fireflies, sparks, lightning, stars Campfires, the moon, headlights on cars The Northern Lights and the Milky Way You can't see that stuff in the day When the truth turns its back on the sun The stars come out, and the planets start to run around Now they call that "day is done" But really it's just getting started Some folks take comfort in that ♪ How dark is it? It's too dark for goblins How dark is it? It's so dark you can smell the moon How dark is it? It's so dark, the wind gets lost How dark is it? It's so dark, the sky's on fire How dark is it? It's so dark, you can see Clarksdale, Mississippi from here
